Why does the check engine light in my Eclipse turn on when I start my car?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your Eclipse firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Are Mitsubishi Eclipse engine noises bad?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Mitsubishi Eclipse engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Mitsubishi Eclipse engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I put water in my Mitsubishi Eclipse radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your Eclipse radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

Why did my Eclipse engine suddenly stop?

If your Eclipse car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
